Thank you for the mention (Eliza thanks you too), Andie. I think even a soft-spoken woman can have grit and strength, it just isn't as loud as we are often used to. :) I think it's her quiet strength that tugged on the heart-strings of John, the determined to stay single heart-throb. :) I also have to say Fern from Charlotte's Web is a great friend to have, a passionate champion in your corner. I was in awe of her the moment I first read the book at age 7 and wanted to be that kind of selfless friend. Don't ask me how I'm doing... :)

Andi, I loved so many of these!!! Oh my goodness! Anne of Green Gables? Lucy? Hermoine? (and yes, I'd love to have Eisley as a BFF!!)Thanks for including her in your list. I can't WAIT to read Camille Eide's book!!!
